The Maple Leafs captain is open to negotiating a contract extension during the season, according to TSN. While he understands that team management is taking a patient approach, he has expressed his willingness to work things out.<\/p><p>Tavares is in the final season of the seven-year, $77 million contract he signed in 2018. At the time, the deal was made with the expectation of a rising salary cap, but the pandemic slowed league revenues, leaving the Leafs with limited flexibility for other roster moves.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The last three players to score 70 goals in the OHL:<br><br>Nick Lardis<br>John Tavares<br>Eric Lindros<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4EjGc5Y2TP\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/4EjGc5Y2TP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Scott Wheeler (@scottcwheeler) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/scottcwheeler\/status\/1898588743344308457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Now, Tavares may not command the same $11 million per year on his next deal, but his production remains strong.
